Description

Refrigerated goods storage compartment, door and domestic refrigeration device with an L-shaped frame

Technical Field

The invention relates to a refrigerated goods storage compartment for a domestic refrigerator, comprising a storage container with a filling opening for refrigerated goods and a separate, independent frame which is arranged on the storage container in the region of the filling opening. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a door for a domestic refrigeration device and to a domestic refrigeration device.

Background

Door shelves for domestic refrigeration appliances are known in a wide variety of configurations. Typically, they have a tub-like container into which food can be placed. Such tub containers can be open at the top or can be covered by a cover which can be mounted pivotably. In this case, the visibility of the door shelf is in most cases impaired, in particular the food stored therein is not visible.

A refrigerated goods shelf, which is a door shelf and has a tray-like container, is known from DE 202008007362U 1. Furthermore, the refrigerated goods compartment has separate individual contour elements which, in the nested state, surround the upper edge of the container on both sides. The profile element is configured with a channel into which the upper edge sinks. In addition, the refrigerated goods compartment has a separate, independent adapter part (adapter), which is designed in a clip-like manner. These adapter parts are also fitted onto the upper edge of the side wall of the container from above. These adapter parts are therefore located between the container and the profile element in the mounted state and serve to fix the profile element. This structure is of a dense construction type and the profile elements constitute the outer parts, so that the wall of the container is thereby partially covered from the outside.

Disclosure of Invention

The object of the invention is to provide a refrigerated goods compartment, a door and a domestic refrigeration device, in which the structure is simplified.

This object is achieved by a refrigerated goods shelf, a door and a domestic refrigeration appliance according to the independent claims.

One aspect of the invention relates to a refrigerated goods compartment for a domestic refrigeration appliance. The refrigerated goods shelf is provided with a shelf container. The placing container is provided with a charging opening for placing and taking out the refrigerated goods. Furthermore, the refrigerated goods compartment has a frame that is separate and independent from the storage container. The frame is arranged on the placement container in the region of the filling opening. The frame is in particular L-shaped, viewed in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the frame. Thus, the frame has a geometry, seen in this cross-section, which is single curved in this respect. Due to this L-shape, the frame has a first side (Schenkel) which extends in the interior of the container in the state in which the frame is mounted on the resting container. The container delimits this interior (or this receiving volume) with walls. The frame is thus arranged such that the first side edge is arranged behind that wall of the container which delimits the interior. Preferably, at least in the region in which the first side edge of the frame extends behind the wall, the wall is particularly at least partially transparent, so that when the wall is viewed from outside the refrigerated goods compartment, the first side edge can be recognized through the wall and can be viewed.

A simply constructed refrigerated goods compartment can be provided by such a configuration. Such a refrigerated goods compartment allows a reduction of components and a very simple construction of the frame in terms of geometry. In addition, can realize through the frozen products shelf check: the portion of the frame that extends inside the resting container can be intentionally visible from the outside. This makes it possible to: the wall area of the frame may be provided with additional information that can be perceived and distinguished through the wall behind which this wall area of the frame extends. Thus, a geometry of the frame is achieved in which the outer side of the wall of the resting container is no longer covered (as is the case in the prior art). In addition to the wall region of the frame (in particular the first side of the L-shape) which is visible through the wall of the storage container, a larger (standard) design variant for the refrigerated goods storage compartment can also be realized. In particular, different decorative variants can be produced therefrom, which can be seen through this transparent region of the wall. Nevertheless, by this position of the first side edge of the L-shape, this first side edge is also arranged in a protected manner, so that the modified form of the information display and/or the decorative display is thereby protected and can be kept clear (e.g. can be free from scratches).

The above-mentioned design forms a geometrically specific frame, which is arranged with its L-shaped first side inside the storage container.

The first side edge, which extends in the interior of the placement container, is no longer covered in an invisible manner to the outside due to the L-shape of the frame, but is only covered on the outside by the walls of the placement container, which is transparent, however, in the region of the first side edge and is thus transparent to light in the spectral range visible to humans.

Advantageously, the first lateral edge has a height, measured in the height direction of the refrigerated goods compartment, which is at most 50%, in particular at most 40%, in particular at most 30%, of the height of the wall of the refrigerated goods compartment. Preferably, the lower end of the first side is arranged freely overhanging. Therefore, the lower end portion of the first side is not placed downward on the pad and is not arranged to be supported from below.

Preferably, the wall of the storage container is formed single-walled at least in the region: the first side of the frame extends behind the region. This means that the wall has no cavity in this region or is not formed by two or more wall sections arranged one behind the other. By this configuration a compact construction is achieved and in particular that the outer side of the first side edge can be perceived visually and thus more clearly and clearly through the wall.

In an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the first lateral edge of the frame is embodied opaque. It is precisely this that a combination between transparent and opaque regions can be achieved, which are produced by different components of the refrigerated goods compartment. The first light-impermeable side edge can therefore be seen particularly advantageously through the transparent region of the wall of the storage container. In addition to the information display which can be perceived very clearly and intuitively, in addition or as an alternative thereto, a particularly individualized decorative shaping of the first side edge can also be realized, so that a very versatile and decorative flexible shaping of the variants of the refrigerated goods storage compartment can be realized.

It is preferably provided that the second side of the L-shape is a top side (dachshenkel) which, in the state of the frame mounted on the placement container, covers the upper edge of the inwardly delimited wall of the placement container at least partially from above.

In particular, the frame is arranged in its L-shape as an inverted L, which is then positioned to some extent as an inverted L. In the above-mentioned advantageous embodiment, the second side of the L-shape is oriented as the horizontal top side, so that with this embodiment the upper edge of the wall is protected by the frame. However, with this L-shape, one configuration is such that: the outer side of the wall (and in particular the front wall on which the container rests) is no longer covered by the frame, whereas the outer side of the wall (and in particular the front wall on which the container rests) is exposed up to this upper edge and is not covered on the outside by the frame. This makes it possible to: the first side edge can be identified to a particularly large extent through a transparent region of the wall, in particular of the front wall on which the container rests.

It is preferably provided that the second leg of the L-shape is designed so as to be narrowed toward its free end. This means that: the second side edge is thicker at the junction (anmndung) on the first side edge than at the end facing away from the first side edge. With this configuration, the frame is shaped more finely just in this area (filegirer) and the structure is reduced in height at the refrigerated product resting compartment. In particular, it is provided that the upper side of the second side facing away from the first side is formed obliquely. In particular, the slope of the upper side is such that the upper side slopes downwardly out of the first side of the L-shape towards the front free end. The inclined upper side of the second side edge, or the slope, is thus visible to the observer when the refrigerated goods compartment is viewed from the front and thus in the depth direction of the refrigerated goods compartment.

Preferably, the frame is constructed in one piece (in particular from plastic).

It can be provided that the frame has a coating, in particular on that outer side facing the wall of the placement container. The coating can be designed to be individualized both with regard to material and with regard to coloring and/or structuring. Thereby creating a high degree of variety of different decorative variants.

In particular, the "glass rear effect" (hinder-Glas-Effekt) for the first side of the frame is achieved by this particular geometry and positioning of the frame. Various configurations can be provided for the coating, for example, lacquering or chrome plating can also be provided.

Since the frame is also very compactly formed by its special shape (i.e. as an L-shape), a corresponding space can also be saved here. The frame no longer runs over the upper edge of the wall of the storage compartment in a flanged manner on both sides, but is here also arranged very finely.

It is advantageously provided that the frame is U-shaped, as seen in the direction of its longitudinal axis. By means of such a configuration, the frame can be fixed on the resting container in a positionally stable manner. Not only are there straight frame strips, but these U-shapes can also be fastened to at least two walls of the storage container, which walls extend in different planes. On the other hand, such a U-shape does not form a circumferentially closed frame, which can be mounted on the storage container with relative complexity with regard to the mounting technique. By the open frame shape, the frame itself is also flexible to a certain extent, simplifying the mounting on the resting container. In this case, manufacturing tolerances can be compensated for in a simplified manner by means of such an assembly.

The U-shape of the frame is preferably designed such that the frame can be fastened to the front wall of the storage container and to the opposite side walls adjoining the front wall. In particular, it is provided that the frame is not fixed to the rear wall of the storage container.

In particular, the storage container is designed as a shell (Schale) or as a basin (Wanne) which, in addition to having a bottom, has a front wall, two opposite side walls, and a rear wall. The interior of the resting container and thus its receiving volume is delimited by the front, side and rear walls and the bottom. The filling opening, in which the container is placed, is delimited by the upper edges of the rear wall, of the front wall and of the side walls.

The frame is therefore advantageously arranged only on the front wall on which the container rests and on the side walls which adjoin the front wall. On the one hand, material is also saved thereby, whereby the weight of the refrigerated goods storage compartment is reduced, and on the other hand, the compactness of the entire refrigerated goods storage compartment is achieved.

In an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the frame is fastened directly to the container by means of a snap-in connection (rastvbindung). This is another very advantageous embodiment, since no further additional fixing means are required (as is the case in the above-mentioned prior art). Thereby again reducing the number of components. On the other hand, it is advantageous to connect by means of a plurality of latching connections, since these can be realized quickly in terms of installation technology and can be designed in a manner such that they can be released without damage. The frame can thus be removed from the placement container in a reproducible manner.

Preferably, the frame is connected with the front side to the front wall of the storage container by means of at least one latching connection and/or with the side of the storage container by means of at least one further latching connection. The side walls of the resting container open out into the front wall. In particular, the lateral sides of the frame open out to the front side. Due to this geometry, a secure and snug fixing of the frame can be achieved by means of the connecting structure (in particular the latching connecting structure). Even if the frame is not designed to be closed in a circumferential manner, but, for example, in a U-shape, both the bottom side, which is formed by the front side in the U-shape, and the lateral side, which is formed by the lateral side in the U-shape, can be attached to the storage container in a positionally accurate manner in a manner such that they can be released without damage. For example, these lateral edges can be prevented from protruding undesirably from the wall of the storage container.

It is preferably provided that the frame has a recess or receptacle on that outer side of the first side of the L-shape which faces the front wall of the container. The second side of the L-shape has latching elements on the underside (viewed in the height direction of the refrigerated goods compartment). The front wall of the storage container has a mating latching element on the upper edge bounding the filling opening of the storage container. In order to produce the latching connection, the counter latching element (viewed in the depth direction of the refrigerated goods compartment) is recessed into the depression and the latching element snaps into a latching receptacle in the counter latching element. The very specific first latching connection of this type makes it possible to mount the frame position precisely directly on the storage container (in particular on the front wall) in a manner that can be released in a non-destructive manner. The latching connection is therefore of double-retaining design to some extent. On the one hand, the counter latching element is oriented and geometrically configured in such a way that it sinks into the recess and thus already achieves a certain fastening in terms of position. In a further region in this connection, the latching element is additionally snapped into the latching receptacle, which is, however, itself formed in the counter-latching element. In particular, the counter-latching element is recessed in the depth direction into the recess on the outer side of the first lateral edge, while the latching element (viewed in the height direction of the refrigerated goods compartment) latches into a latching receptacle in the counter-latching element. In this way, a mechanical engagement of the frame with the wall of the storage container (in particular the front wall) is achieved in two different spatial directions at this very locally limited point.

Preferably, it is provided that the mating detent element extends into the container interior and over at least 70% of the length of the upper edge, wherein the depression extends in a channel-like manner over at least the length of the mating detent element. With such a configuration, the mating latching element is formed on the upper edge as a thickening relative to the remaining region of the wall (in particular the front wall), so that a more stable mechanical coupling is achieved here. The snap-in coupling to the frame is improved by the fact that the mating latching elements also extend in strip-like fashion over a longer length. Furthermore, the upper edge is also reinforced by such a configuration, so that no undesired deformation occurs here and the coupled and thus also latched state is held particularly stably.

It is preferably provided that the recess (viewed in the height direction of the refrigerated goods compartment) is bounded upwards by a second side of the L-shape. This also means that the recess is formed in the first side directly at the transition between the two sides. Thereby, it is also achieved: the mating latching element rests with its upper side (viewed in the height direction) over a large area on the frame (in particular on the longer lower side of the second side). Saturation of the connection between the frame and the resting container and a stationary arrangement thereof are thereby achieved.

Preferably, the side bracket parts (in particular integrally formed) of the frame (in particular the U-shaped frame) each have at least one latching hook. In order to form the second latching connection, the latching hooks, which advantageously extend downward (in the height direction of the refrigerated goods compartment), snap onto the latching edges of a respective side wall of the container on the outside. In particular, it is provided that the side walls of the storage container are oriented away from the interior of the storage container and have laterally outwardly projecting webs or flanges which have latching hooks. In particular, the side bows are the preferably U-shaped frame and thus the free sides of the U-shape.

Preferably, a stop is configured on the upper edge of the rear wall on which the container rests. This is in particular an upwardly projecting stop. Thereby constituting a stop for the lateral side of the frame. The stop is in particular constructed integrally with the rear wall. Due to the preferably designed elasticity of the frame, the stop element can prevent: one lateral side of the frame is moved too far inward (or toward the other lateral side) by itself due to its pretension. The lateral side rests on the stop. The lateral side edges are in particular kept pre-tensioned.

It is also possible to provide additional fastening means (in particular snap-in connections) between the frame and the storage container.

Preferably, the latching edges are offset back with respect to the remaining course of the webs on the side walls. In particular, the back offset is designed such that, in the latched state, the outer side of the latching hook is flush with the other region of the web that is engaged with the latching edge. In the installed state, the latching hook therefore does not project laterally beyond the webs on the side walls. The latching hooks are therefore also arranged to some extent (viewed in the lateral direction) in a buried manner and are in this case also protected and enclosed by the remaining region of the web region adjoining the latching edge.

Preferably, at least one first latching connection and two second latching connections are formed. In this way, the frame, which is in particular U-shaped, is fixed with all its sides of the U-shape to at least one of the three walls of the storage container by means of at least one latching connection. In particular, a first latching connection is formed between the U-shaped bottom side of the frame and the front wall of the storage container, and a second latching connection is formed between the respective lateral side of the U-shape of the frame and the respective side wall of the storage container. This achieves a particularly exact position of the frame on the resting container.

Instead of the detent receptacles, it can also be provided that the mating detent elements have an extension (in particular a lug or a lip) which projects upwards. The position of the frame on the front wall on which the container rests can thereby also be ensured in the depth direction. The projection can engage in a cutout, which can be formed on the underside of the second side of the frame. Thereby improving the position fixation.

Advantageously, a coupling element is formed (in particular integrally formed) on that outer side of the side wall of the storage container which faces away from the interior of the storage container, for fastening the refrigerated goods storage compartment to a component of the domestic refrigeration appliance. The refrigerated goods shelf can thereby be fastened (in particular suspended) to the component in a manner such that it can be released without damage. This may be the case, for example: the refrigerated goods storage compartment embodied as a door shelf can be hung on the inner wall of the door of the domestic refrigeration appliance. In particular, it can be provided that door beams (T ü rholme) extending in the height direction are formed on the inner wall and have mating coupling elements into which the coupling elements of the refrigerated goods compartment can be inserted.

It is preferably provided that the coupling structure is designed such that, in the state in which the refrigerated goods compartment is fastened to such a component of the domestic refrigeration appliance, the second latching connections (as already mentioned above) are covered and in this case no longer accessible in the installed state of the refrigerated goods compartment. This prevents the second latching connections from being released undesirably.

In particular, it is therefore provided that the second latching connections are formed adjacent to the coupling elements on the refrigerated goods compartment, so that in the installed state of the type in which the refrigerated goods compartment is mounted on a component of the domestic refrigeration appliance, they are simultaneously covered (or concealed) as described above.

It is preferably provided that the front edge of the second side edge of the L-shape of the frame facing away from the first side edge is arranged flush with the outer side of at least one wall of the at least one resting container facing away from the interior of the resting container. The frame thus cannot extend beyond the outside of the wall of the storage container.

Preferably, the placement container is constructed in one piece (in particular from plastic). The storage container can be at least partially (preferably completely) transparent.

It can be provided that the outer side of the first side edge facing the adjacent wall of the placement container is arranged with a small distance to this wall of the placement container (in particular to the inner side of this wall) and thus with a certain small clearance. However, it can also be provided that this outer side of the first side edge is arranged to rest directly on this inner side of the adjacent wall of the resting container.

It is possible that this outer side of the first side edge of the frame is oriented completely vertically. However, it is also possible that the outer side is configured to have a certain inclined posture.

In an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the lateral sides of the preferably U-shaped frame are not straight. In particular, these lateral side edges have a wing end piece turned inwards. In particular, the latching hooks already mentioned above are formed on the wing end pieces.

A further aspect of the invention relates to a door for a domestic refrigeration device, having at least one refrigerated goods compartment according to the above-mentioned aspect or an advantageous configuration thereof. In such a configuration, the refrigerated goods storage compartment is configured as a door shelf. The door shelf can preferably be arranged on the inner wall of the door in a manner such that it can be released without damage.

It may also be provided that at least one side of the resting container and/or the frame (in particular the front side of the first side edge of the frame) is painted or dyed or hot stamped. For example, it can be provided that the front side of the frame (in particular the first side) is hot stamped and that the side on which the container rests is painted or dyed.

In an advantageous embodiment, the refrigerated goods storage compartment has separate, independent rail elements. The rail member is connected to the frame. In particular, the first side edge is embedded in a receiving channel (or channel) of the rail piece. Preferably, the first lateral edge (viewed in height) is at least partially (in particular completely on at least the front side) received in the channel. Preferably, the first lateral edge is arranged in the channel exactly and thus without play. Preferably, the rail piece is constructed in one piece. The rail element has a length which corresponds at least to the length of the first side edge along the U-shaped base of the frame. It can also be provided that the rail element has a length which corresponds to the entire length of the first side edge. The rail element is also preferably U-shaped.

Preferably, the first lateral edge (in particular on its inner side facing the interior of the resting container) has a latching element (in particular a latching channel). It can be provided that a mating latching element (in particular a projecting latching web) is formed on the inner side of the (in particular second) delimiting wall of the rail element facing the channel. Thereby, the first side of the frame can be anchored (in particular snapped in) in the channel of the rail piece.

The rail element can be U-shaped or J-shaped in cross section perpendicular to its longitudinal axis. The rail element is in particular of the shaft-type (schachhtartig) design.

Preferably, when the rail element is arranged in the mounted final state, a first limiting wall of the rail element, which delimits the channel of the rail element, rests on the inner side of the wall of the resting container.

Preferably, the outer side of this delimiting wall facing the inner side of the wall of the resting container is painted or dyed or hot stamped.

Another aspect of the invention relates to a refrigerated product storage compartment for a domestic refrigeration appliance. The refrigerated goods shelf is provided with a shelf container. The placing container has a loading opening for placing and taking out the refrigerated goods. Furthermore, the refrigerated goods compartment has a frame that is separate and independent from the storage container. The frame is arranged on the placement container in the region of the filling opening. The frame is connected with the front side edge to the front wall of the storage container by means of at least one latching connection and/or the frame is connected with the side edge of the storage container by means of at least one further latching connection.

The above-mentioned embodiments of the independent aspect of the refrigerated goods shelf can be regarded as advantageous embodiments of the further independent aspect of the refrigerated goods shelf.

A further aspect of the invention relates to a domestic refrigeration device having a refrigerated goods storage compartment according to the above-mentioned aspect or an advantageous configuration thereof. In addition or alternatively thereto, the domestic refrigeration appliance can also have a door according to the above-mentioned aspect.

In the case of a frame mounted on the placement container, it is preferably provided that the frame is inserted with its first side (in particular with its first side of the U-shaped base part of the frame) from above through the filling opening of the placement container and rests on the inside of the upper edge of the front wall of the placement container. Furthermore, the lateral sides of the frame, which are still projecting upward (in particular projecting upward from the interior of the storage container) and are designed to be elastic, are pressed inward and thus pressed against one another and downward into the storage container.

Alternatively, the mounting of the frame on the resting container can be achieved by: one lateral side of the frame is pressed with its first side of the L-shape against the inner side of the side wall of the placement container, wherein the frame is placed at an angle to the placement container and only this lateral side is introduced into its interior via the filling opening of the placement container. The remainder of the frame projects outwardly from the charging opening. Furthermore, by pressing the lateral side edges against the side walls, the frame is elastically deformed and the remaining part of the frame is introduced (in particular swung in from top to bottom) into the interior via the filling opening. The entire frame is thus arranged on the inside of the front wall and the side walls on which the container rests. The pretensioning produced is released again as a result of the elasticity of the frame, and the frame is also pressed against the inner side of the front wall and against the inner side of a second side wall opposite the first side wall on which the container rests. In particular, the frame rests in a form-locking manner on the inner sides of the three walls of the resting container.

By the expression "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "horizontal", "vertical", "depth direction", "width direction", "height direction" and the like, the position and orientation of the refrigerated goods compartment or door or appliance is specified, which results when used as intended and arranged as intended.

Detailed Description

Fig. 1 shows a simplified illustration of a domestic refrigeration device 1, which domestic refrigeration device 1 is designed for storing and preserving food. The domestic refrigerator 1 can be, for example, a refrigerator or freezer or a combination refrigerator-freezer.

The domestic refrigeration device 1 has a housing 2, in which housing 2 at least one receiving chamber 3 for food is formed. The receiving chamber 3 may be a cold storage compartment or a freezer compartment.

Furthermore, the domestic refrigeration device 1 has a door 4, which door 4 is arranged pivotably on the housing 2. The door 4 is configured to close the receiving chamber 3 at the front side. The door 4 has an inner wall 5, which inner wall 5 faces the receiving chamber 3 in the closed state of the door 4. As is shown by way of example and can be understood schematically, a door shelf 6 is arranged on the inner wall 5, which door shelf 6 can be an embodiment for a refrigerated goods shelf 7.

Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of a refrigerated goods shelf 7 in a perspective view, wherein the refrigerated goods shelf 7 is a door shelf 6. The door shelf 6 has a storage container 8, the storage container 8 being of shell-type or basin-type design. The storage container 8 is in particular of one-piece construction (preferably of plastic). The placement container 8 is preferably at least partially (in particular completely) transparent. Preferably, the placement container 8 has a front wall 9 and a rear wall 10, as seen in the depth direction (z direction), and the placement container 8 has

opposite side walls

11 and 12, as seen in the width direction (x direction), and a bottom 13. The placement container 8 has a filling opening 14 which is open upward, as viewed in the height direction (y direction), and refrigerated goods (or stored goods) can be inserted into the placement container 8 and removed from the placement container 8 through the filling opening 14. Furthermore, the door shelf 6 has a frame 15 that is separate and independent with respect to the resting container 8. The frame 15 is preferably constructed in one piece, in particular from plastic. The frame 15 can be arranged (in particular snapped) on the resting container 8 in a manner such that it can be released without damage. As can be seen in the illustration in fig. 2, the frame 15 extends with a first lateral edge 16 (fig. 3) in the interior 17 of the placement container 8 and thus in the receiving volume of the placement container 8. The frame 15 is constructed in particular from an opaque material.

An embodiment of the frame 15 is shown in a perspective view in fig. 3. The frame 15 has a U-shape in the embodiment shown here, viewed in the direction of its longitudinal axis a. The frame 15 is shown in fig. 4 in a sectional view along the sectional line IV-IV in fig. 3. This section plane is therefore oriented perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis a. It can be seen here that the frame 15 has an L-shape in this cross section perpendicular to its longitudinal axis a. In addition to the already explained first side 16 of the L shape, the frame 15 therefore has a second side 18, which second side 18 is oriented, in particular, at an angle (in particular, 90 °) relative to the first side 16. The frame 15 is arranged in its L shape as an inverted L on the placement container 8. Here, this means: the second side 18 is configured as a horizontal top side. In this case, the first side edge 16 is therefore oriented vertically and thus in the height direction.

As can be seen in fig. 2, the first lateral edge 16 is arranged inwardly and thus in the interior 17 of the resting container 8. In the case of the door shelf 6 viewed from the outside, the first side 16 is located behind at least this region of the front wall 9: this region is of transparent design. This means that: in the case of viewing the door shelf 6 from the outside (in particular from the front toward the front wall 9), the first side edge 6 located behind it is seen. The first side edge 16, which is recognizable at its full height, is thus visible through the front wall 9.

The frame 15 can thus be arranged on the placement container 8 in a manner that can be released without damage, directly and without additional separate, separate fastening elements, in such a way that the second side 18 covers (in particular completely covers) the upper edge 9a of the front wall 9 from above.

In the exemplary embodiment shown in fig. 2, it is provided that the first lateral edge 16 can also be seen from the outside through the

side walls

11 and 12, and in this case the second lateral edge 18 covers the

upper edges

11a and 12a of these

side walls

11 and 12, which extend substantially in the depth direction, from above. As can be seen, the second side edge 18 extends only in the horizontal direction due to the L-shape of the frame 15, so that the second side edge 18 no longer covers the front wall 9 and/or does not cover the

side walls

11 and 12 on the outside, or the second side edge 18 does not enclose the

upper edges

9a, 11a and 12a in a channel-like manner.

As can also be seen in fig. 2, in the exemplary embodiment according to fig. 2, the frame 15 is fastened in its U shape only to the front wall 9 and to the

side walls

11 and 12 adjoining this front wall 9 (in particular in the upper region), but not to the rear wall 10.

In particular, the outer side 16a of the first side 16 can be designed in various ways. Here, different information (e.g. personalized coloring and/or letters and/or numbers and/or logos) can be displayed, so that this outer side 16a of the first side edge 16 can also be an information wall. In addition or alternatively thereto, this outer side 16a can be designed in a wide variety and individual manner with regard to the material design and/or the structuring. All these particularly decorative configurations can be seen from the outside through the placement container 8.

As can be seen from the sectional illustration in fig. 4, the frame 15 has a recess or depression 19 on the first side edge 16, in particular on the outer side 16 a. In this exemplary embodiment, this recess 19 is formed in particular directly at the transition to the second side edge 18. In this embodiment, this recess 19 is therefore delimited from above by the underside 18a of the second side 18, viewed in the height direction.

Separate and spaced apart from this recess 19 in the first side 16, the latching element 20 is formed integrally on the underside 18 a.

Fig. 5 shows the view in fig. 2 along the sectional line V-V, as can be seen in the corresponding sectional view in fig. 5, the front wall 9 is formed on the upper edge 9a with a counter latching element 21, which counter latching element 21 is also integrally formed on the front wall 9. In the latched and thus finally installed state shown in fig. 5, the counter latching element 21, which projects into the interior 17, is recessed into the recess 19, as viewed in the depth direction. Furthermore, this counter latching element 21 has, separately from the coupling nose on the front side, a latching receptacle 22 on the upper side (viewed in the height direction) of the counter latching element 21, which latching receptacle 22 is in this case a recess or a cutout. The detent element 20 snaps into this detent receptacle 22.

Preferably, the detent receptacles 22 extend as cutouts (or channels) and in particular over at least 70% of the length of the upper edge 9a, measured here in the width direction, and thus also over the corresponding length of the mating detent elements 21.

It is preferably provided that latching element 20 is also designed as a correspondingly continuous and in particular uninterrupted tab, which snaps into the groove.

By means of this configuration (as shown in fig. 5), a first latching connection 23 is formed, by means of which first latching connection 23 the frame 15 can be arranged on the placement container 8 in a manner such that it can be released without damage. The first latching connection 23 allows retention both in the height direction and in the depth direction.

The frame 15 is also fixed in position in the width direction on the placement container 8, in particular by the clip shape (in particular U shape) of the frame 15.

In the embodiment in fig. 5, it can be seen that the first lateral edge 16 is arranged spaced apart from the front wall 9 (in particular the inner side 9b) by an outer side 16a facing the front wall 9. In an alternative embodiment, it can also be provided that the outer side 16a and the inner side 9b at least partially rest against one another.

It is advantageous for the embodiment shown here in fig. 5: the information can be better displayed on the outer side 16a and can also be replaced again.

Furthermore, fig. 5 also shows that the second leg 18 is formed so as to narrow toward the front free end 24. In particular, it is provided that, viewed in the height direction, the upper side 25 facing away from the first side edge 16 is oriented obliquely. The upper side 25 extends obliquely forward and downward from the end portion rearward in the depth direction toward the front end portion 24. However, it is also possible to provide that the second side 18 is not configured in such a narrowed configuration.

In particular, it is provided that a front edge 26 of the second side edge 18 facing away from the first side edge 16 is arranged flush with the outer side 9c of the front wall 9.

Furthermore, it can be seen in fig. 3 (as in fig. 2) that the two

lateral sides

27 and 28 in the U-shape of the frame 15 do not extend straight. The two

lateral sides

27 and 28 are connected to the bottom side in the U-shape. This bottom side constitutes the front side. The front side is connected to the front wall 9 of the storage container 8 by means of at least one latching connection 23.

In particular, these lateral side edges 27 and 28 have respective inwardly turned

end pieces

29 and 30. In particular, the shaping of the

side walls

11 and 12 is adapted here to the resting container 8. Latching hooks are formed on these lateral flanks 27 and 28 (in particular end pieces 29 and 30), wherein the latching hooks 31 on the flanks 28 are visible in fig. 2 and 3.

Fig. 6 shows an enlarged view of a partial region I from the outside in fig. 2, so that the latching hook 32 on the end piece 29 is shown here. Here, the locking edge 33 is shown in the locked position on a horizontal web 34, which web 34 is integrally formed on the upper edge 11 a. By means of this configuration, a second latching connection 35 is formed, which second latching connection 35 is formed between the side wall 11 of the storage container 8 and the frame 15 (in particular the lateral side 27 or 28). A corresponding catch is also formed on the opposite side between the other lateral side and the other side wall on which the container 8 rests.

In the latching connection 35, the latching action is effected in the height direction. However, it is also constructed in the depth direction. As is shown in fig. 7 (in fig. 7, it is possible to identify a storage container 8 without a frame 15), the latching edge 33 is offset back with respect to the remaining region of the web 34, so that in the latched state according to fig. 6, the latching hook 32 is arranged to be recessed or embedded to some extent. In this case, it is provided in particular that the outer side 32a of the latching hook 32 is flush with the front edge 34a of the web 34, which is adjacent to the latching edge 33.

Accordingly, corresponding latching edges are also provided for latching hooks 31 on the webs of the other side wall 12.

As can also be seen in fig. 2, 6 and 7, coupling elements 36 and 37 (here in the form of an upside-down U-shaped coupling element) are integrally formed on the outer sides of the

side walls

11 and 12, respectively, facing away from the interior 17. By means of these

coupling elements

36 and 37, the door shelf 6 can be fitted in a preferably existing door beam 38 and 39 (fig. 1) in a manner that can be released without damage, and these door beams 38 and 39 can be designed in a parallel and vertically oriented manner on the inner wall 5. In particular, the position of the second detent connection 35 is such that this second detent connection 35 is configured adjacent to the

coupling elements

36, 37, so that, in the mounted state of the door shelf 6 on the inner wall 5 (in particular the door webs 38 and 39), the second detent connection 35 is covered and cannot be released in this mounted state of the door shelf 6.

Fig. 7 also shows a stop 40, which stop 40 is formed on the upper edge of the rear wall 10 of the storage container 8. The stop 40 is formed integrally with the rear wall 10 and projects in an upwardly projecting manner. Thereby, the lateral side 28 is maintained parallel to the side wall 12. Accordingly, this is configured on the opposite side with a further stop for the further lateral flank 27.

Fig. 8 shows a perspective sectional view of a partial region of a further exemplary embodiment of a refrigerated goods compartment 7. The front wall 9, the frame 15 and the separate rail member 41 from it are shown in an exploded view. The rail member 41 is configured to have a channel 42 opened upward. The channel 42 is delimited by a first delimiting wall 43 of the rail element 41 and a second delimiting wall 44 parallel to the first delimiting wall 43. Preferably, the latching element 45 is integrally formed on that inner side 44a of the second limiting wall 44 which faces the channel 42. In particular, the latching elements 45 are projecting latching elements (in particular linear latching webs). Preferably, the mating latching elements 46 (in this case, in particular, linear latching recesses) are formed integrally on the inner side 16b of the first side 16 of the frame 15 facing the interior 17. In the state in which the frame 15 is mounted together with the rail part 41 (as this is shown in fig. 9), the latching element 45 and the counter-latching element 46 snap in. The first side 16 (as this is shown in figure 9) is arranged to sink into the channel 42.

In particular, the first lateral edge 16 is completely received in the channel 42 at least on the front side and thus with its front side facing the wall 9. In particular, the first side edge 16 is arranged without play in this channel 42.

As can be seen in fig. 9, the first delimiting wall 43 rests surface-wise on the inner side 9b of the wall 9. Preferably, the upper edge of the first delimiting wall 43 rests on the underside 51 of the counter-latching element 21.

Preferably, the upper edge of the second delimiting wall 44 rests on the underside 47 of the offset 48 of the first lateral edge 16. Toward the interior 17, the offset 48 and the inner side 49 of the second delimiting wall 44 are configured flush.

It can be provided that the outer side 50 of the first delimiting wall 43 facing the wall 9 is at least partially painted or at least partially dyed or, in particular, is at least partially hot stamped.

The rail element 41 is U-shaped or, as embodied here, J-shaped in a cross section perpendicular to its longitudinal axis (sectional planes shown in fig. 8 and 9). The rail member 41 is in particular of hoistway-type construction.
